Values obtained at room temperature. Call for high or low temperature
applications. Number indicates concentration if < 100%. M= Values may
change under mechanical stress G=Gaseous state. A=Aqueous solution.
S=Soluble.
+= Specimen is resistant.............Swelling <3% or weight loss <0.5%.
Break elongation not significantly altered.
/= Specimen has limited resistance...Swelling 3-8% or weight loss 0.5-5%
and/or break elongation decreased by <50%
-= Specimen is not resistant.........Swelling > 8% or weight loss > 5%
and/or break elongation decreased by >50%
